    Why do they need to torture people? Is there some kind of information they need from them?

      No. They just have the wrong skin color. It’s your first time hearing about the US?

      You do realize that torturing people is not a way to get information out of people, right?

      Torturing people produces misinformation, not information.

      Torture is what you do to someone when you enjoy causing them pain.

      Based on the picture it might be so that they can more efficiently ship them to the organ harvesting centre for processing ?

      Stanford Prison Experiment

      A group of students were split into guards and prisoners in a mock jail. They were stripped of their normal identity and restraint. The guards quickly slid into cruelty. Prisoners broke down. Study aborted within a week.

      Funny story, you can’t reproduce this, because it’s unethical, but the few occasions where it has been tried under supervision, none of the behaviors emerged.

      Think about that.

      All you need to do is put on a uniform, and you change as a person.

      Specifically the literal CIA themselves said that the information they got from “enhanced interrogation” techniques was low quality at best, untrustworthy, and largely inactionable.
